“At Timpson we are proud to be an official Clean Sheet employer. We fully understand the benefit that employing ex-offenders can have on your business and we know that Clean Sheet feel the same way. Being part of their employers directory means that our vacancies are viewed by a significant number of work ready candidates, who have an offending background. The overwhelming majority of these candidates are hardworking, professional individuals who just need that opportunity to put their past behind them and be given a second chance. I would highly recommend becoming a Clean Sheet employer to any business who are serious about recruiting from this group.”
